| Discovery 3 - Automatic Gearbox. Struggling to detect 'P'. |
|
Hi all,
I've just signed up to this forum and was looking for some friendly advice.
I have a Discovery 3 and have noticed over the past couple of days that it has been struggling to detect 'P' on the dash, as a result it becomes permanently engaged in the park position and I'm unable to start the vehicle.
With a minor wiggle of the gear selector it does eventually detect the 'P', and I can then proceed to turn the ignition and continue with my travels. All the other gears appear fine; smooth transition, eases into D,N and R etc. It's just 'park' that is the pain!
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. The vehicle is still covered under warranty, but it's nice to have a bit of a heads of what this could be? Or if it is an easy fix that would save me the journey.
Apologies if this is a common post!
Thanks
Tim
